Turkey's Erdogan and Israel's Netanyahu trade sharp accusations

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of "following Hitler's path" and warned that those responsible for regional massacres will be held accountable. He also criticised Israeli operations in Lebanon and Syria as a threat to Turkey's security.

Netanyahu responded by calling Erdogan an "antisemitic dictator" and defended Israel's right to continue military actions against Iran and its allies wherever necessary. Both leaders reiterated their criticism of each other's policies and rhetoric in a heated public exchange.
